A PowerPoint that demonstrates the structure of GCSE Language Paper 2, Section A (AQA 8700/2) and the skills that examiners are looking for.
Source A: An anonymous prison diary, published in the Victorian magazine ‘Household Words’ in the early 1850s. Source A is contained in ‘Rollercoasters: 19th-Century Fiction and Non-Fiction’, an anthology of 19th Century extracts available to purchase online (ISBN: 978-0198357407). Please be aware that in order to to access Source A, you will need to obtain a copy of the anthology. It is currently priced at around £9.75-£9.99 from major online booksellers.
Source B: An extract from ‘My Prison Diary’, by Jeffrey Archer, published in 2002.
A link to the extract is contained on Slide 9. The extract reads from, ‘I don’t know why I’m surprised to encounter a fresh-faced young GP…’ down to ‘After all, there’s nothing else to do’.
This PowerPoint covers Section A only but there are sample answers included for each question, 1-4.
If you can obtain a copy of the 8700/2 mark scheme, you may wish to encourage learners to mark the sample responses.
Appropriate for middle-upper ability learners.
